Is a Grenade launcher a Section 1 Firearm Component ?

[QUOTE=boristhepig;342247]Hi
This thread was originally first posted in January 2015 since then an updated Guide on Firearms Licensing Law was published in March 2015, I have just been looking through it, and I don’t know if clause xii) was included in the 2014 guide? But it would seem to me that this clause would now make the 2.5in discharger cup a section 5 item?

vi) any rocket launcher, or any mortar, for projecting a stabilised missile, QUOTE]

My counter to that would be :

a) A grenade is not a "stabilised missile"
b) The 'bit of bent metal' is not a 'launcher' & is not launching anything - the rifle (via a blank cartridge) is doing the launching.
